Crunch Time!

Points


The Matches


Match 1: Czech Republic v Portugal (Goalscorer)
Match 2: Germany v Greece (Goalscorer)
Match 3: Spain v TBC (Goalscorer)
Match 4: TBC v Italy (Goalscorer)


NB Only In the event of a prediction for a draw please nominate a winner of the tie.

Scoring


1. 90 minute score Team A v Team B


If you predict an outright winner (90 minutes):
Correct Score = 4 pts
Correct Margin = 3 pts
Correct Result = 2 pts
Incorrect Result = 0 pts


If you predict a team to win and the match is a draw after 90 mins, you retain your predicted winner for the
outcome of AET/pens. If they win AET/pens = 1 pt (consolation)


If you predict a draw (90 mins) you must also nominate a team to win the tie:
Correct Score = 3 pts
Correct Result = 2 pts
Nominated winner AET/pens = +1 pt (bonus)


You will still score 3 or 2 points if you correctly predict a draw but your nominated winner of the tie
subsequently lose AET/pens.


Maximum possible points for score in any match = 4 points.


Goalscorer


2. Nominated player is 1st Goalscorer in 90 mins = 2 pts
3. Nominated player scores (in 90 mins) but is not 1st Goalscorer= 1 pts


You can only earn points for either 2 OR 3 above.


Maximum 90 mins Goalscorer points = 2pts


4. Nominated player scores any goal in Extra Time = 1 pt


Maximum AET Goalscorer points = 1pt


(Penalty Shoot out goals are not included)




Tiebreakers


1. Most correct scores (90 mins)
2. Most correct results (90 mins)
3. Closest number of goals to actual from 90 minutes play
4. Higher Ranked player


Quarter-Finals draw


A: Seed 1 v Seed 8
B: Seed 5 v Seed 4
C: Seed 3 v Seed 6
D: Seed 7 v Seed 2


Semi-Final
Winner A v Winner B
Winner C v Winner D


(The Semi Final will follow the same format as the Quarter Finals - tiebreaker 4. will be the player with the higher carry over from the Quarter Final)


(In the Final one match to be played - one point will be awarded to the player with the higher carry over of points in the quarter finals & semi finals combined or, failing that, on a tiebreaker - clarification will be provided at this point).


I recommend those who qualify to pm me their predictions for the latter stages as this will avoid the problem of posting first or matching scores.
 

The draw will be known after tomorrow. The first game will be on Thursday so it is essential that a quick turnaround is achieved in providing scores. Since I will post sets of scores after receiving both lots no changes can be permitted to original predictions.

If necessary I will make provisions for a reserve should someone fail to compete. The draw will be adjusted accordingly (for example 1v9 5v4 3v6 2v8)
 
is there a chance you could provide us with an example prediction i.e. a guideline to help slow people like me? :)
 
Sure:

e.g.
Alfie Germany 3-1 Greece Gomez
Bill Germany 1-1 Greece (Greece to win match) Podolski
Charlie Germany 2-1 Greece Klose
Dave Germany 1-0 Greece Sweinsteiger

Match ends 90m 2-2 120m 4-2 Germany
Goals: Klose 1-0, Sweinsteiger 2-0, Greece make it 2-2 - Podolski makes it 3-2 Gomez 4-2 in extra time.

Points
1: 90m
2: Goalscorer (1st)
3: Goalscorer (later)
4. Extra Time Goals
5. Final Result

Alfie: 0+0+0+1+1 (extra time goal, final result - correct winner) = 2 pts
Bill: 2+0+0+1+0 (full time result (not score), extra time goal, wrong result) = 3 pts
Charlie: 0+2+0+0+1 (first scorer, correct winner) = 3 pts
Dave: 0+1+0+0+1 (2nd scorer, correct winner) = 2 pts

As it happens:
Klose scores - 2 pts Charlie
Sweinsteiger scores - 1 pt Dave
90 mins score (2-2) - 2 pts Bill
Podolski scores - 1 pt Bill
Klose scores - 1 pt Charlie
Final result - 1 pt each Alfie, Charlie, Dave

Another example:

Alfie Portugal 1-1 Czech Rep (Portugal to win) Ronaldo
Bill Portugal 2-1 Czech Rep Postiga
Charlie Portugal 1-2 Czech Rep Baros
Dave Portugal 3-1 Czech Rep Moutinho

Match ends 90m 1-1 120m 3-4 Czech Republic
Goals: Jiracek 0-1, Ronaldo 1-1, Postiga 2-1, o.g. 2-2, Baros 2-3, Baros 2-4, Moutinho 3-4

As it happens:
Jiracek scores - no points
Ronaldo scores - 1 point Alfie
90 mins score (1-1) - 3 points Alfie
Postiga scores - 1 pt Bill
o.g. scores - no points
Baros scores - 1 pt Charlie
Baros scores (again) - no points (same scorer)
Moutinho scores - 1 pt Dave
Final result - 1 pt Charlie (correct winner)

Alfie 4 pts (90m score, 1 scorer)
Bill 1 pt (e.t. goal)
Charlie 2pts (e.t. goal, correct winner)
Dave 1 pt (e.t. goal)

Correct winner includes any team that wins on penalties.
 
awesome cheers dan, was just asking because i didn't know if you wanted us to put a score for full time, then an extra time score (if you guess FT to be a draw).

Therfore if you put 1-1, and it ends 1-1 after FT, but 2-2 AET, how many points would you get AET? you would get the 3 after 90 mins, but then you say the max you can get is 5.

e.g. would it not be 3 pts after 90 mins then 2 more for getting the correct result (draw) after 120 mins, then if you've predicted the right winner you get the extra 1 pt bonus = 6
 

No, Toffeejack as those who predict a win get nothing at 90mins in the event it goes to extra time but the possibility of points if that team wins in ET whereas only those who pick a draw "collect" at 90 mins with the possibility of a bonus (or no further points when wrong) if they then pick a winning team. If 120 mins was a sure thing then lots of people might go for more goals than are probable (in 90 mins). The final score after extra time has no bearing on the points save for a correct team to win.

A selection cannot be made up of a 2-1 Germany win with Greece to win in extra time - if someone predicts Germany to win 2-1 (90 mins) they retain Germany as their selection for extra-time.

The idea is that your selection is still alive for extra time & everyone starts level (1 point at stake) - the same with the goalscorer. Just to be clear for everyone - If the first goal of a game is in extra time that is worth ONE POINT only.

So a 1-1 score that ends 1-1 is worth 3 points - the extra time winner (you have to nominate a winner if you select a 90m draw) is worth a point irrespective of the actual score or whether it goes to penalties.

Matches:
90 minute score predictions:

Thu: Czech Rep v Portugal (Goalscorer: )
Fri: Germany v Greece (Goalscorer: )
Sat: Spain v France (Goalscorer: )
Sun: England v Italy (Goalscorer: )

In the event of a prediction for a draw please nominate a winner from the tie. You may wish to pm me your scores - if so I will acknowledge receipt (on this thread) permitting the opponent to post here should they wish - I will then post the pm for all to see both sets of scores. By sending the scores direct to me it is easier to avoid either gamesmanship (waiting or changing scores) or brinkmanship. Good luck to all remaining players.
 

I'll PM you in a sec Dan, just got to think of some predictions. I'll do it now as I'm busy tomorrow and could forget, but is it okay to PM you any changes if I decide to?


Also, bring it ROZ ffs. I'll smash you like I'll smash yer missus*.

Yes, changes ok - noted but in that case I won't publish both until just before game 1.
 
Senor Martinez is the smart money here. Years spent studying the intricacies of latin futbol. Rumour has it that it was he who coined the tiki taka game in a small Catalan backstreet with nothing more than a can of lemon Fanta.

Knows his cebollas, get behind him.
